The Kiko Loureiro Signature ShibaDrive Re|Loaded is the result of the collaboration between Suhr andMegadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro. Since 2015 Kiko has been a fan andused an original Shiba Drive as his main overdrive pedal in thestudio and live for both his solo and Megadeth projects.
AMP-LIKEPERFORMANCE
Designed to work equally well with single coiland humbucking instruments, the Shiba Reloaded responds dynamicallyto every nuance of your playing, just like the overdrive channel ofa tube amplifier. With a simple twist of your volume knob, you caneasily morph from pushed clean to full on Classic Rock style tones.
GAIN TOSPARE
The Shiba Drive Reloaded offers over 50% more gainthan our original Shiba Drive. Our engineers fine tuned its gainstage, increased saturation and upper harmonics, which resulted inimproved midrange articulation and more sustain, allowing your notesto sing without sacrificing low end definition.
SMOOTHSWITCH
Suhr redesigned Shibas Smooth switch to be moreapparent offering flexibility, giving you the ability to fine tuneyour sound. Whether you prefer warm violin-like solos or an open anddefined full-bodied rhythm tone, Shiba Drive Reloaded is your idealoverdrive pedal for a variety of playing styles.
An excellent companion to theoriginal Shiba Drive, Shiba Drive Reloaded is a versatile overdrivepedal that delivers a broad range of pushed/overdriven tones, withan amp-like feel, all within a compact stompbox.
SIGNATURETONE
Kiko primarily uses his Shiba Drive as a boost topush the front-end of his amplifiers for increased sustain andharmonics. Based on feedback from Kiko we have modified the ShibaRe|Loaded circuit to offer greater clarity and low-end responsewhile retaining thel character and dynamics of the original.
